Clock Set by Japy Freres

~ French
- Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A very large and impressive original antique French gilt brass clock set by the
famous maker Japy Freres. It is in the Louis XVI style,
architecturally designed and decorated with flowing elaborate foliage. To the
arched top is a large pieced urn with scrolling foliate handles. To the front, a
finely detailed fretted panel allows the pendulum to be seen swinging within the
case. Candelabra are similarly styled with pieced urns and bold scrolling arms.
Snuffers sit in the middle nozzle as a finial when not in use. This is a stunning and substantial clock set with a superb original gild.

The large enamel dial has a cream background with red crown half-hour markers,
large blued steel hands and convex glass fitted to the hobnail bezel. The rear
door is glazed with frosted glass.

The French movement is by Japy Freres and has the
makers mark on the backplate. It is of high quality with pin-pallet escapement
and rack striking. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is
original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in
good condition just some nibbles to the winding holes and a couple of small
hairlines. Candelabra are slightly distorted. The set makes a stunning display as you can see below.

Complete with original pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up
instructions supplied if required.

About us
- All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in
France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in
original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have
developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul
the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they
will run trouble free.
